NFS_CLIENT

The NFS_CLIENT feature provides POSIX-compatible file I/O system calls on top of the NFS file system. It provides only the client side implementation of the protocol and thus requires a host system to provide the server side implementation of the NFS protocol. The NFS_CLIENT feature can be configured to run on top of either Ethernet, PPP or SLIP. The NFS_CLIENT requires the POSIX_SOCKETS feature to be configured.

NFS_SERVER

The NFS_SERVER feature provides the services to provide an NFS server on top of a local UFS file system. It provides only the server side implementation of the protocol, the client side being provided by the NFS_CLIENT feature. The NFS_SERVER requires POSIX_SOCKETS and UFS.

MSDOSFS

The MSDOSFS feature provides POSIX-compatible file I/O system calls on top of the MSDOSFS file system on a local disk. It requires a local disk to be configured and accessible on the target system.

At least one of RAM_DISK, IDE_DISK or SCSI_DISK must be configured. It is usually embedded in any configuration which uses a file system as part of the boot image of the system. MSDOSFS is frequently used with Flash memory.
